According to Tuttosport, McTominay has successfully undergone cardiac ablation surgery and is expected to return to training on September 22.

Yesterday morning, Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay underwent cardiac ablation surgery at Spire Hospital in Manchester.

The operation was highly successful, and he will now rest for approximately two weeks before returning to training. According to Napoli's schedule, McTominay is expected to return to training on September 22, two days after the team's match in Florence.

The club hopes he will be fit after the international break, in time for the league match against Frosinone on October 10 at the San Paolo Stadium. Cardiac specialists believe this timeline is optimistic, though recovery techniques following such procedures in professional athletes have improved significantly.

Napoli vs. Arsenal Preview: Anguissa Out, Neres Doubtful

McTominay cannot play against Arsenal tonight, and Napoli's midfield is facing additional injury problems. Over the summer, the team should have focused on strengthening the midfield after Elmas' departure, but the club chose to take risks, leaving only Anguissa, Lobotka, Gilmour, and McTominay. As a result, after just three matches, two key midfielders are sidelined.

McTominay is ruled out due to atrial fibrillation following the loss to Como, and now Anguissa is also injured. Manager Allegri confirmed yesterday: "He will not play tomorrow." The Cameroonian midfielder sustained a hip flexor strain while attempting to score on a pass from Luka.

Neres also missed yesterday's training due to a recurring knee issue. The Brazilian winger was sidelined in January following a peroneal ligament tear in his ankle, and subsequent knee problems delayed his return to team training. Last Saturday, Allegri brought Neres on for 28 minutes late in Napoli's match against Inter Milan, following a 10-minute appearance against Como, but his knee acted up again. A final assessment will be conducted this morning, and if Neres still feels pain, he will also miss the Champions League opener against Arsenal.
